Jesse Rodriguez vs Fernando Martinez unification in talks for November

Things are heating up fast. Hot on the heels of announcing David Benavidez vs Anthony Yarde and Abdullah Mason vs Sam Noakes, Turki Alalshikh has now added a major super flyweight showdown to Riyadh Season’s November card: Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs Fernando “Pumita” Martinez. There’s one key variable — Rodriguez (21-0, 14 KO) still has to get past WBO champ Phumelela Cafu in two weeks. While he’s a strong favorite, upsets have been happening more often than expected lately. If Rodriguez handles business and Martinez (18-0, 9 KO) makes weight smoothly, this could be the premier fight at 115 lbs. It’s a true clash of the division’s best: Rodriguez’s sharp footwork and fluid combinations against Martinez’s relentless pressure. This one promises fireworks — don’t blink.
